Climbing Conferences

Solo ascents, climbing new routes in remote and wild areas.
With complete autonomy and without communication devices. Months of solitude and isolation, to enjoy climbing, nature, and intense experiences.

The experience of living on a wall during weeks, alone and without any means of communication devices (no radio, no phone, no GPS…).
 
33 days living hanging on the wall and more than three weeks carrying the gear needed to climb a large, virgin wall (1,500 meters climbed).
 
Condors, glaciers, anecdotes, and extreme experiences, accompanied by the magic which made it possible.
 
Live comments.

Length: 50 minutes.
Xanadu, Arrigetch Peaks, Brooks Range, Alaska, USA
 
A presentation that combines picture images and videos with background music.
 
A vertical, overhanging, monolithic wall. A pyramidal summit.
 
36 days carrying 150 kg of equipment and food. Clearing the way, crossing rivers… 17 days living on the wall. 53 days in the valley without radio or phone. Cut off. Alone. Without weather forecast that could facilitate the ascent logistics.
 
Several anecdotes and situations surrounded by wild nature: wolves, bears, wolverines, elks… Quite an adventure!

Sílvia has climbed numerous first ascents worldwide, all without any means of communication (no radio, no telephone, no GPS), and many accomplished alone and entirely independently. Months of isolation in remote and wild areas have earned her several international awards.
